About
This summer I had the opportunity to work with Cedowin Productions in building an Android version of their iOS app AweVenture, which is a group-based scavenger hunt application geared towards family fun.
Given my thorough background in Java and experience with IDEs such as IntelliJ, setting foot into the Android Studio developer environment was not completely alien, but I had much learning to do in mobile development and utilizing Google Firebase. I was provided online classes while working on the app which I went through quickly, not out of haste but because I greatly enjoyed the material and was excited about building mobile apps.
Once I got into building Aweventure-Android I discovered there was still much learning to do, such as loading videos on a cloud, building dynamic RecyclerViews with interactive elements, and implementing Maps APIs. Thus, in working on this project I gained valuable experience in both mobile app development and extensive research.
In addition to developing the mobile app, I was also required to create projected timelines for having certain modules of the app completed and provide documentation on my progress.
